    1 Thessalonians 5:19 says “Do not quench the Spirit.” How do we obey that? How do we stay hungry and thirsty for God? How do we feed the flame of the Holy Spirit in our lives?

     | 44,406 views

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do, when God is saying to stay and when He instructs you to move foward. The life of Moses gives a clear example of navigating through this arduous dilemma of life.

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do/when God is saying to stay and when He is saying to move. Not knowing is this God, is this family pressure, yourself. Fasting and praying and still not hearing clearly from God while you are in the will and the way of ...read more

    Why Not You Since You Are Chosen By God Series

    As the men and women chosen by God, we stay the tests of turbulent times because we understand Roman 8:31 simply guarantees that when it is our time to return to the fight, Our God Has Us Completely Covered.

    The content of the mentioned Scripture often send us wondering about the permissive will of God. This chapter of the bible reveals that Job was suffering from his illness and apparently as with some issues of life today, his suffering not only damaged his physical body, it changed the way people ...read more

    Paul, Luke, and several other people had been shipwrecked on Malta. After staying there, these men and possibly others made the last leg of their journey to Rome itself. The journey wasn't always easy, though.

Luke summarized nearly 30 years of church growth in one volume, from Jerusalem to Rome and then to other parts of the ...read more

    Are you slipping and sliding around in the same old mud? We must hold nothing back, and never hold something so close to our heart that keeps us away from the promises of God

    Following God requires a life of obedience. Being obedient does not just happen all at once. Our life journey is a process and we are all in different places in our journey. If you are like I am I get frustrated with the process at times when there are delays. Have you ever been stalled in traffic, ...read more

    The application to this is if we put Jesus first in our lives and if we continue to strive for Him, continue to draw ourselves close to Him, He will improve us and make us more like Him everyday.

    19 times we find this phrase in the Psalms, and that same sentiment has been echoed by countless millions of others. We examine the depth and types of suffering summed up in that expression and close with encouraging thoughts.
